Another month gone...

Up at 5:30, beautiful day...

...and working on the cover for what might be the new LP...

Also a “bonus disc” of the long instrumental backdrops of “The Eternal Optimist”, “cage of Expectation” and “The Killers at the Counter”...

Awaiting remixes too from Sour Grapes and Edward Spark....

A lovely walk into town this morning from Haymarket...

At lunchtime, to FOPP and purchases made...

Walked for an hour on the way home, making it as far out as the Zoo before taking a No 26 up the hill...

Home for 8...

Salmon and salad followed by “Glee” – Kiss good, GaGa bad – and the last “Flashforward” – reasonable ending but, unsurprisingly, the show has been cancelled...

Noticed sibilance today re the vocals on the new LP –maybe I need to re-record all the vocals...

Not to worry, I’m only 51...

Highlight of the Day : Walking...

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
